Whispering your enemy, will it work in a Free to Play game?

[Razicator]

So in PS1 you could directly whisper to any player on the server, even enemies on the other faction. This created for some interesting opportunities and hilarious situations. But will it work in a free to play game, where there's much less at stake for a less-than-civil player? It worked in PS1, but what about PS2?

In a free to play game, where you can just make another account anytime, what's there to help keep the community civil? Should we enable communication with the enemy, especially through whispers? Local taunts are fine, but direct communication? What about local chat?

Some possibilities: like League of Legends and Steam, you must first add someone on your friends list in order to receive whispers.Or we can leave it like PS1, unlimited personal whispering, but obviously with an ignore

Gameplay possibility: implants to enable "hearing" enemy's local chat, which is normally not possible.
